Yay or Nay?

I wanted to do family photos at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 month marks this year.  Big fat FAIL.  We only did newborn and 3 month photos.  So since Vinny will be 9 months (oh.my.gawd.) next week we have our spring family photos scheduled for this Sunday. 

This is my vision and what I'm thinking for our outfits.  Luckily we have everything in our closets except for a blue shirt for me.  Oh darn, I have to go shopping after work today.  So sad. 

 



Yes?  No?

Perfectly Us

I'm always the one behind the camera.  Always.  The amount of photos of just Vinny and I are very limited.  So on Mother's Day I handed off the camera to Chris.  I need to give him a lesson on composition, shutter speed, aperture and ISO ;)

 

These photos aren't perfect, but they are perfectly us. 

 

 

The Now

Gah.  Life.

I feel like there are so many things I want to post about that has happened, but typing out all those posts sound exhausting.  So we'll just skip to the now. 

The now consists of:

• Deciphering what we are all wearing for family photos this Sunday.  Normally I have this picked out weeks in advance.  I totally dropped the ball on this one.  It's giving me anxiety just thinking about it.  A trip to the Gap is in store for me today. 

• I just learned how to use icloud.  Yes, I realize I'm like the last person in the world to jump on this bandwagon. 

• Instagram has killed my blog.  It's so much easier for me to snap a pic of my daily doings and happenings vs. blogging them.  It makes me happy and sad all at once.  I love Instagram.  I love documenting life by photos.  But I miss blogging.  Lately there has just been no time to construct a blog post.  I've been so lazy busy.

• Seriously considering this whole baby #2 thing.  Like, for real.  Two kids under 2.  Am I nuts?  

• I'm normally a planner.  I love having something to look forward.  Jotting down a list with pen and paper excites me (it's the little things, people).  With that said you would think I'd be in full birthday planning mode for Vinny's first birthday party in August.  But, nope.  I haven't even started.  We selected a date and that's as far as I got.  The thought of decor, DIY projects and food prep makes my head spin.  Who wants to be paid to plan this for me?  Any takers?
